Sunday Bun-day Fun-day

-

There's a certain magical feeling when it's been a long, cold winter and the weather finally warms up - like the first couple days where the weather is really nice and sunny and warm. That magical feeling is even more magical on a weekend, when you're free to do fun things outdoors and see friends and family.
This past Sunday was a perfect example of that kind of day.
I got up and went to church in a new spring dress I got at Boone Belles on Friday. Church was great, and then my family went to lunch at this place called China Capital. MMM. Coincidentally, we ran into Brooke and her family. It was such a nice surprise! I captured the moment with a selfie of me, Brooke, and Lovelyn :). I can't believe she will be a year old next week!

After lunch, Ashley and I ran errands. I finally got to go to the library after meaning to go for WEEKS. I wanted to get books for my ninth graders to read during "drop everything and read." I had almost forgotten how much I love the HP Public Library. Being surrounded by thousands of interesting books that can take you anywhere you want to go, all in a big building with huge windows so that you can see the beautiful weather... ahh what a wonderful feeling. I LOVE the library!!

After the library, we picked Margaret up. Margaret and I went to Starbucks and sat OUTSIDE :) It was so nice. Then Margaret helped me CLEAN MY CAR OUT!! I had "clean car out" on my to-do list for weeks. That was so sweet of her. I felt so productive. It was fun because I had company and it was a nice day to do it!

For dinner, we met friends and my brother at Sir Pizza. It was good to catch up with people we hadn't seen in a while - Sarum and Jolina and her cousins and Taylor.
After a Walmart run, we ended up at Starbucks again and Margaret got to meet my friend Yadavan. Good conversation. Good friends. An all-around good day :)

Our Love Story

  Our Story This is how it goes... For several years, they would glance at each other across the sanctuary at Oak View Baptist on Sunday mornings. They knew each other, but they didn't really know each other. Beth went to High Point University, and Drew attended North Carolina State University. Years passed and sometimes they would say hey, but were usually too shy to say much else (yes, Beth Burroughs was shy around boys she thought were really cute). Even when they both accompanied the youth group on church camp trips, they didn't say much to each other. After college Drew moved back to High Point to start work and Beth moved to Boone to get her Master's at Appalachian State. The timing wasn't right yet....... When Beth was in her first year teaching at Southwest High School (2015), she sent Drew a Facebook message (ah, the era of social media) asking about apartments because she was looking to move out of her parents' house. She was also looking for the conversat

So I've been posting our story on our "The Knot" site. I've been posting in increments since I wanted to include the full story, but haven't had the time to sit down and type the whole thing! Also, I think people would rather read a little at a time... and it keeps everyone on the edge of their seat!! lol This was the first 'installment' I posted: For several years, they would glance at each other across the sanctuary at Oak View Baptist on Sunday mornings.

Things Unseen

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NIV) 17  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.   18  So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,  since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Lately I've been getting weighed down with the issues of the world. Yesterday I read 2 Corinthians 4:8-18 in my daily reading book. In these verses, Paul talks about being pressed but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not forsaken, and struck down but not destroyed... if you are a follower of Christ. The troubles of the world may weigh on us, but they will not overtake us. As we receive grace and sustenance for each day from God, we should become more thankful, which goes along with what I've been intentional about this week - writing a list of things I'm grateful for and thanking God for them. Focusing on these things will help us to see the world through His eyes. Verses
